FAQ

  • Do you offer refunds?
    Refunds are available for products purchased directly from our website within 14 days of receipt. To be eligible for a refund, the product must be unused, in its original condition, and in its original packaging.
  • How do I request a refund?
    To request a refund, please contact our customer service team at info@colourwings.com.au with your order number and a brief explanation of the reason for the refund. If applicable, include any relevant photos of the product and packaging.
  • How long til my refund gets processed?
    Refunds will be processed once the product is returned and inspected. Please allow up to 10 business days for processing.
  • Who pays for return shipping?
    The customer is responsible for return shipping costs unless the return is due to an error on our part or a defective product. Please note, shipping fees are non-refundable.
  • Are there any exceptions or non-refundable items?
    Custom or personalized items are non-refundable. Products purchased on sale or with promotional discounts may be subject to different refund terms.
  • How will I receive my refund?
    Refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.
  • What surfaces can I use the markers on?
    Our markers can be used on wood, paper, canvas, rocks, glass, plastic, metal and more!
  • What should I do if the colour seems to be running low?
    If you notice the color fading or running low, gently press the tip of the marker a few times to allow the ink to flow again. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent damage.
  • How should I store my ColourWings markers?
    For optimal colour performance, we recommend storing your markers flat. However we do recommend turning them upside down right before use. This helps ensure the ink flows evenly and the tips stay saturated.
  • What paint is used in the marker?
    Our markers are filled with water-based, non-toxic acrylic paint. The colours are vibrant, long-lasting, and suitable for layering. Since they are water-based rather than oil-based, they are odourless and quick-drying.
  • Do the markers blend well?
    Yes, you can blend the colours using a cotton bud or your fingertip, but you’ll need to act quickly - the paint dries fast! For best results, blend while the paint is still wet.
  • What's included in the artboard kit?
    Please check our product description for details. Generally, all our kits come with an artboard and 12 vibrant acrylic paint markers.
  • What are ColourWings boards made of?
    Each board is made from high-quality 3mm MDF - a strong, durable material that gives you a solid surface to colour on with no warping, crinkling, or tearing like paper. Our dollhouse series is made using only plywood.
  • Do the boards have a smooth surface, or do I need to prime them first?
    No need to prime! Each board is carefully sanded by hand, giving it a smooth surface that’s ready to colour straight away - your markers will glide with ease.
  • Are the drawings original?
    Yes! All drawings are original artworks, first hand-drawn and then laser-engraved onto wooden boards.
  • What size are the boards?
    All standard ColourWings boards are 40cm x 40cm. Please double check the product description for sizing as some boards might vary in size. We also offer themed kits (like dollhouse rooms) with different dimensions.
  • Can the boards be framed or reused?
    Yes! Once your artwork is complete, the board can be framed, displayed, or given as a beautiful personalised gift. While the board is designed for single-use, you can layer new colours over dried paint. Just keep in mind that excessive layering hasn’t been fully tested.
  • How long does it take for an order to be processed?
    All orders will be processed within 1-2 business days.
  • How long does it take for my order to arrive?
    Australian standard shipping takes 2-6 business days, while express shipping is 1-4 business days. Shipping times depend on current courier services and may vary by location. Once your order is shipped, you’ll receive a tracking number to monitor its progress. Please note that delivery times can be affected by external factors beyond our control, such as weather or courier delays. For international orders, additional time may be required due to customs and local postal services.
  • Do you offer free shipping?
    Domestic orders over $120 qualify for free shipping.
  • Are there any additional fees for international orders?
    International orders may be subject to customs fees, taxes, or duties, which are the customer’s responsibility.
  • Can I use other markers or paint on the board?
    While we recommend the included acrylic markers for best results, other acrylic-based paints or markers also work well on the MDF surface.
  • What surfaces can I use the markers on?
    Our markers can be used on wood, paper, canvas, rocks, glass, plastic, metal and more!
  • Are the engraved lines deep?
    The lines are deep enough to guide your colouring but fine enough to keep the artwork looking clean and elegant. They’re just the right width to help you stay inside the lines without overpowering your design. After multiple trials, we’ve fine-tuned the engraving to get it just right.
  • How should I store my ColourWings markers?
    For optimal colour performance, we recommend storing your markers flat. However we do recommend turning them upside down right before use. This helps ensure the ink flows evenly and the tips stay saturated.

  • How long does it take to colour a board?
    It really depends on your pace! Some people like to complete it in one session, while others enjoy taking their time over several days. It’s all about the experience.
  • What’s the best way to preserve my boards?
    You can apply a clear acrylic spray to preserve the finish, which is available at most local hardware stores. However, we haven’t used it on any of our boards since ColourWings began, and they still look as great as the day we first started!
  • Is this a good gift idea?
    Absolutely! These kits are a thoughtful, creative gift for birthdays, holidays, or just because. They're great for adults, teens, and creative kids - and to be honest, they’re also the perfect gift to make just for yourself.
